Longwu Town, Luoyang County, Qishan City.

This small town in the southeast and east of the Han Dynasty has the biggest reputation for being poor!

Located in the mountainous area, lack of arable land, lack of water resources, known as "seven mountains, two rivers and one field", from ancient times to the present, food is the first major problem.

In Luoyang County, there has always been a saying that "it is better to marry thousands of miles away than to marry Long Wuhan".

Because of poverty, so the people are strong, and backed by the mountains, once there is a natural disaster in history, it is also an area where ringing horses prevail and strongmen haunt.

There are poems as evidence: The ashes of the pit are not cold and the Han East is in turmoil, and Liu Xiang does not read.

Because of the backing of the mountains and the passage of large rivers, the natural resources are relatively abundant, and in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, many small coal kilns and small stone quarries have come into being.

However, the common people did not get much benefit, but only created a group of nouveau riche, coal tyrants, stone tyrants, and sand tyrants, but added a lot of sources of chaos to the local public security, and the lives of the common people became more miserable.

From the infrastructure construction of the town, you can see the poverty of Longwu Town, the population of the whole town is nearly 60,000 people, but the town is a street, potholes and dirt roads, sparse small restaurants, small shopping malls, and markets are lined up, except for the town government is a brand-new three-story building, the others are at most two-storey buildings.

In this year's township reform, Longwu merged with the neighboring Sanshou Township, which was in a similar situation to Longwu, so it became more bloated and poor.

The "Tanjia Restaurant" on the edge of the town, because the restaurant is located in a good location, is located on the edge of the only dirt road in and out of the town, and people who come and go to transport coal and stones have to rest here, so the business is quite prosperous.

The owner, Tan Yonglin, is in his early forties, looking like a good old man, and is greeting guests in the hall.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

In the box on the side, several people covered in alcohol walked out, and one of them was still wearing a police uniform.

"Li Gong'an, are you satisfied with the taste of the food?" Tan Yonglin greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Lao Tan, your chef looks like an old dog who can't be killed, but this fried chicken is not bad, otherwise, I will arrange it for you every day? Yes? ”

The man in the police uniform said, patting Tan Yonglin's belly with his hand, with a look of ridicule.

"Thank you Li Gong'an for taking care of me, my brother is full of gratitude! Come, get a Hongta Mountain for Li Gong'an! Count me in! ”

Tan Yonglin ordered loudly, and the guy behind the counter hurriedly complied.

"Okay, you old Tan, you are getting better and better at being a person, sign the order!" Li Gongan staggered the signature, hummed a little song and left.

"Boss, there have been three groups of people signing the bill at this moment, and you don't pay the bill after eating, can you still operate?"

At this moment, a guest in the hall said.

The guest looked like he was in his early twenties, and his face was very tender, like a recent college graduate.

Sitting next to him was a young man about his age, who only looked weathered and much rougher.

The boss glanced at him, sighed and said, "No way, now the government has to sign bills for dinner, you don't let it sign, people won't come?" If it's okay if you don't come, and you run into someone who is difficult to serve, you anger him, and you can find a reason to make your store unable to open, isn't that a blood mold? Now sign the bill first, and then go to ask for it at the end of the year, slowly, a lot of the previous year's accounts have not been settled for me! ”

"It's only natural to give money for dinner, but you, the creditor, have become the one who begged grandpa to sue grandma!" Young man.

"Alas, there's no way, it's not that bad, the drivers of the big cars from the south to the north also get here to eat, people can give cash, and they can also make some money, this year, it's good to open a store steadily." The boss said.

"The guest is coming to visit relatives?" The boss looked at the young man carefully, and only felt that he had a noble temperament, which was incompatible with Long Wuzhen's style.

"I'm here to work." The guest smiled.

He is Liang Jiangtao, who came here to serve as the deputy secretary of the party committee of Longwu Town, presiding over the work of the party committee, and is actually the number one here.

It stands to reason that the leader of the Organization Department of the county party committee came to report this afternoon, but he found his own way and came here two days ago to "pay a private visit to Weifu" to check the local customs, and it should be said that he gained a lot.

In this way, we can see some real problems, real situations.

The young man next to him was Liang Jiangtao's classmate Chen Guodong.

Before Liang Jiangtao came to Longwu Town, he also heard that the people here were fierce and the law and order were chaotic, although his status was high, but after all, he came here to be a white dragon fish suit, so he still had to pay more attention to it, thinking of bringing a skilled and reliable person to protect him, and the first thought was Chen Guodong.

Chen Guodong took the money Liang Jiangtao gave last time, bought hearing aids for his daughter, and then worked in the county to earn hard money.

As soon as he heard that Liang Jiangtao was looking for him, he immediately agreed.

For him, Liang Jiangtao was not only a good classmate and brother back then, but also his benefactor.

As long as Liang Jiangtao has a word, he will not blink his eyes even if he goes up to Dao Mountain and goes down to the sea of fire.

What's more, just protecting Jiang Tao closely, isn't this a piece of cake for him?

It just gave him a chance to repay the favor.

So he said yes without the slightest hesitation.

Liang Jiangtao asked Chen Guodong to come over to help, in addition to really needing such a trusted person by his side, more importantly, he also wanted to help Chen Guodong.

Chen Guodong is only selling cheap labor now, and he will never be a leader.

Liang Jiangtao got him to the town government, he could take the road of formal recruitment, and then hire him in the future, and he could be a serious national cadre, which could be regarded as a background, which was a fate-changing move for Chen Guodong.

"Work? Are you a newly assigned college student in town? The boss was surprised.

With the temperament of this guest, he looks like a college student, and he is a cadre when he comes to work in the town.

In the past few years, several college students have come to the town.

"Sort of." Liang Jiangtao said with a smile.

He has just graduated from college for less than half a year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a newly assigned college student, but he is just assigned to do a good job.

Of course, I can't tell my boss about this, and he definitely won't believe it.

It's so bizarre!

"Oh, I didn't expect the new cadres to come to my store for dinner, it's an honor, today's meal is mine!" The owner said generously.

"No, you're also a small business, how can I eat you?" Liang Jiangtao smiled and shook his head.

"You're welcome, little brother, you will be a cadre in the town in the future, you are a high-ranking existence, I can't invite you if I want to be a small ordinary person, I can't help anything in the future! Again, looking at your face, maybe you will become a leader in a few years, and I will have to stammer. Hey. The boss half-jokingly said that he was also a master who climbed up the pole, which was particularly exciting.

For him, having one more person in the town to talk to him has the advantage of having one more person, at least a little less embarrassment when he wants to pay his bills, and less trouble when he is doing things.

Since ancient times, the people did not fight with officials, and the more closed and backward the place, the stronger the official-oriented thinking.

Suddenly, an arrogant voice sounded: "Old Tan on the dog day, make two pots of big roosters and fry a few good dishes!" ”

When Lao Tan heard this, his face changed instantly.
